Safe landing

Got in safe and sound, but rush-hour traffic’s a bear, so the official VM fiancee & I have hit a mall (with a Mac store) in NJ before we try to make it into NYC to drop her off.

Homegoing

We’re about to head out to the airport, and we’ve packed away a couple of MREs for next weekend’s photoblogging session. Once we’re settled in, I’ll get my French Quarter photos posted up here, so you can see that it’s not THAT bad.

Sorry if my long post about Saturday’s trip sounded too depressing. Seeing all the (re)construction going on down here, I’m pretty optimistic about the city’s immediate prospects. I’m concerned about how it’ll deal with the long term, of course, but I’m concerned with how you’ll deal with the long term too, dear reader.

In all, I’d say it was a good trip, insofar as I gained a better understanding of the after-effects of the flood, along with loads of funny stories about Amy’s family members.
